A world without landfill! Where waste is a resource to sustain a carbon neutral global economy.
Turmec is constantly evolving to move with the change in waste streams and is continuously investing in developing new ways to process waste. Turmec have launched a new Aftersales CRM system, the next generation of rapid solutions providing customers with one central place to order spare parts and services and achieve a faster response time.
Turmec design and build innovative, cost effective, easy to operate, environmentally sustainable engineering solutions
With more than 50 years’ experience in the engineering and recycling industries Turmec offers planning, design, manufacturing, installation and support to waste and recycling management companies globally.
From a base in Gaeltacht at Rathcairn, Co. Meath, an in-house team of engineers and designers offer a complete turnkey process, from conceptual drawings to a fully operational plant, for bespoke plants through to solutions for new or existing plants, and general engineering projects.
One of Turmec’s key projects is the Turmec/Rino project, the world’s largest state-of-the-art construction waste processing facility in Brisbane.
Geoff Bailey Chief Executive Officer says this project is a testament to Turmec’s commitment to sustainable waste management and its ability to deliver large-scale, complex projects.
The €30m project began in March 2022 with a timeline for completion by November 2023. The facility processes Construction & Demolition (C&D) and Commercial & Industrial (C&I) waste, with a processing capacity of 475,000 tonnes per hour. It’s a world-first, able to sort through wet and dry waste under one roof.
Upon completion of the plant, Dan Blaser, Rino Recycling General Manager, said they had scoured the globe and “brought together the best engineers in the world to successfully collaborate with us to deliver a leading plant that underpins a strong sustainable recycling industry for Australia”.
Geoff Bailey, Turmec Chief Executive Officer, says the project is the company’s largest, by scale, in its long history in the supply and installation of mechanical treatment plants worldwide.
“Our expertise and knowledge made us the ideal candidate for this project, which is the biggest mixed construction and demolition plant in the world by volume,” Geoff says.
“The solution Turmec created and installed, in collaboration with wet plant specialists CDE, means that varied waste types can be integrated into an automated production line which effectively separates out the materials allowing for the production of a number of high-quality products such as aggregates and road base. The residual waste can be used as fuel for industrial boilers.”
